Vancouver, BC, March 24, 2017--(T-Net)--Wiivv announced today that it haslaunched a new Kickstarter Campaign for Wiivv Custom Fit Sandals, the world's first custom sandal designed and 3D printed to fit the unique contours of feet, giving the wearer biomechanical support and unparalleled comfort.

The company aims to transform the made-to-measure footwear market with their software and direct-to-consumer model. The $95 sandal is available on Kickstarter to residents of USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Wiivv makes every shoe custom for true comfort and improved biomechanics. The process begins with the Wiivv mobile app for iOS or Android.

Users follow the simple instructions to take four photo measurements of their feet. More than 200 data points on each foot are digitally mapped and processed with computer vision software.

This data is used to determine optimal strap placement and 3D printed arch support for each specific foot. The sandals can also be personalized with various arch colors and interchangeable straps. Customers receive their unique and customized sandals, which are 3D printed and assembled in San Diego, at their doorstep within seven days.

This is the third 3D technology footwear product from Wiivv in 12 months.

Their first Kickstarter campaign for BASE Custom Insoles broke records in three different Kickstarter categories and it remains the most successful 3D printed product in crowdfunding history. Since launching commercially in January 2016, the company has raised Series A funding, shipped over 10,000 custom insoles, and acquired eSoles, a U.S. provider of modular customizable footbeds - the deal which gave Wiivv over 50,000 3D foot scans.

“After the success of our insoles, Kickstarter backers started requesting a sandal,” said Co-Founder Louis-Victor Jadavji. “Flip flops are part of our summer uniform, yet traditional models are detrimental to foot biomechanics. The general market wasn't addressing this issue, so we decided to tackle it head on.”
